I Wish (Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan) A family drama about siblings separated after their parents divorce.

Love & Bruises (Lou Ye, China/France) Banned from filmmaking in China? Simply move to France, cast A Prophet star Tahar Rahim in a story about a dysfunctional love affair, and presto. Except for the bit about going to Cannes.

The Monk (Dominik Moll, France) The genius behind Lemming has a new masterpiece on the way starring Vincent Cassel, Geraldine Chaplin, and Sérgi Lopez. It’s about an 18th-century monk tempted by Satan. So it’s bound to be good.

Prey (Brillante Mendoza, Philippines) Isabelle Huppert teams with the Philippine director behind the notorious Kinatay in a drama about the aftermath of a kidnapping.

Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out (Marina Zenovich, U.S.) The director of 2008’s Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired once again delves into the director’s sordid past for this rare documentary sequel.

The Rum Diary (Bruce Robinson, U.S.) Johnny Depp is Hunter S. Thompson. Again. Only less so. On the shelf for over a year and soon to be released in the U.S. by FilmDistrict. (The magic that made Withnail and I a cult classic sadly continues to elude director Robinson.)

Simon Killer (Antonio Campos, U.S.) A relationship movie set in Paris from the director of Afterschool. Cast: Brady Corbet and Mati Diop, who made her debut in Claire Denis’s 35 Shots of Rum.

Skylab (Julie Delpy, France) After last year’s embarrassing gothic bloodfest The Countess, actress-director Delpy tries her hand at a comedy about an eccentric family.

Take This Waltz (Sarah Polley, Canada) Seth Rogen, Michelle Williams, and Sarah Silverman together at last in “a funny, bittersweet and heart-wrenching story about a woman struggling to choose between two different types of love.” The IMDb plot keywords are “honeymoon” and “infidelity.”

W.E. (Madonna, U.K.) She can’t sing and she can’t act, so why assume that she can direct? Abbie Cornish and Oscar Isaac star in parallel stories of the love affair between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII and a modern romance on the Cannes Croisette. Berlin turned it down, so now it’s Venice’s turn.

What’s Wrong with Virginia? (Dustin Lance Black, U.S.) In the Milk screenwriter’s directorial debut (produced by Killer Films) Ed Harris plays a sheriff running for senate whose daughter (Emma Roberts) begins to date the son of a psychologically disturbed woman (Jennifer Connelly) with whom the sheriff has engaged in a two-decades-long affair.

Wuthering Heights (Andrea Arnold, U.K.) First Red Road, then Fish Tank, and now, naturally, Emily Brontë. Before Arnold came on board as director, the casting was Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish, and Michael Fassbender. After? A bunch of people you never heard of.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center celebrates American and international cinema, to recognize and support new filmmakers, and to enhance awareness, accessibility and understanding of the art among a broad and diverse film going audience.
